My daughter will be 10 in October. She is in good health, eats and sleeps well. However, I am finding it hard to deal with her behaviour. Sometimes she is a dream to spend time with and is happy, relaxed, will do chores if asked, will offer help even when not asked, shes fantastic. Then she will suddenly turn. She will be rude, obusive, shes scream and shout, ignore us, refuse to do things she is asked, this wil then quickly be followed by tears because she is sorry. She says my Husband and I leave her out, which is untrue ( we do however have 2 other children ) she blames school saying she cant do the work or has no friends, also untrue ( have spoken to her teacher at great legnth who assures me she is happy at school, does indeed have friends and is more than capable and happy doing the work that is set ) We have tried reward charts, spending alone time with her, taking things away if she behaves badly but nothing seems to make a difference. I hate seeing her unhappy, but at the same time it frustrates me when she misbehaves for no reason ...... any suggestions on what could be wrong with her ??? Any help would be much appreciated
